I made these cookies yesterday because... to be honest, I just didn't feel like studying. This is being such an intense semester.Ayer hice estas galletas porque... para ser sinceros, no me apetecía estudiar. Este cuatrimestre está siendo super duro.

I know they look the best, because I was in a hurry and didn't even plan to bake them. But I still think they're pretty cute and simple and I wanted to share them with you.Sé que no son precisamente las más bonitas del mundo, porque tenía un poco de prisa y ni siquiera tenía intención de hacerlas. Pero aun así, creo que son bastante monas y simples así que quería compartirlas.

My basic chocolate cookies recipe:

200 g butter (Room temperature)

125g white sugar

350g all-purpose flour

1 egg white

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

A pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder

Mi receta básica de galletas de chocolate:

200g de mantequilla (a temperatura ambiente)

125g de azúcar blanca

350g de harina

1 clara de huevo

1 cucharadita de zumo de limón

Un pellizquito de sal

2 cucharadas de cacao en polvo puro.

Then simply mix everything.

Simplemente mezclad todos los ingredientes.

Pre-heat oven to 180ºC / 350ºF.Precalienta el horno a 180ºC / 350 ºF.

Put the tough in the fridge for about 30 minutes so that it'll be easier to work with and cut it using gingerbread men shapes.

Ps. I wanted to show you this face my cousin did cause I think it's so funny what she thinks a face should look like. She's such a cutie pie. And she kept trying to stick those in my face and her own, ha!

I came up with this quick craft idea. It's so easy to make! You can even put some candy inside and give it to someone as a gift. Or you can leave it empty and use it as decoration.El otro día se me ocurrió está idea, que es super fácil de hacer. Puedes poner caramelos dentro y regalárselo a alguien. O puedes dejarlo vacío y usarlo de adorno.

I then cut a small green circle and pasted it on top. This both helps cover up the ends and looks like a leaf. To make the stem I cut a thin and long piece of green paper and curled it using my scissors.

I know I haven't posted a lot lately but... blame my professors for that. Seriously, you should e-mail them and tell them not to give me so much to study and so many assignments.Sé que no he escrito mucho últimamente, pero.... echadle la culpa a mis profesores. En serio, deberíais mandarles un e-mail y decirles que no me manden estudiar tanto y tantas prácticas...
